Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing the Romaine lettuce under cold running water. Shake off the excess water and pat the leaves dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 2
Trim the end of the lettuce head and then chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped lettuce in a large salad bowl.
Step 3
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half lengthwise. Add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Step 4
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Add the sliced onion into the salad bowl as well.
Step 5
In a small bowl or jar, prepare the dressing by combining the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and minced garlic (crush the garlic clove before mincing for best results).
Step 6
Add salt and black pepper to the dressing mixture and whisk together, or cover the jar with a lid and shake vigorously until well combined.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
Step 8
Gently toss the salad to ensure even distribution of the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper as desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a fresh and crisp appetizer or side dish.
